Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Use washers and tighten fasteners just enough to create a snug fit, avoiding excessive torque.
Using standard drill bits without proper technique, causing chipping or melting.Employ specialized plastic drill bits and drill at a moderate speed, using a steady, even pressure.

Common Applications

  • Industrial machine guards
  • Structural bracing components
  • Heavy-duty signage supports

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong solvents and abrasive cleaners, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during fabrication processes involving cutting or drilling to dissipate heat.
